flag UK diesel prices may hit £1.70/litre due to global tensions, rising crude oil, and an upcoming fuel duty hike.

flag Diesel prices in the UK are rising rapidly, with forecasts predicting they could reach £1.70 per litre due to global tensions disrupting oil markets, particularly over the Strait of Hormuz. flag Crude oil prices have surged past $100 per barrel, driving up diesel by 20p in days and petrol to its highest level in over a year. flag Prices typically lag global market shifts by about two weeks, meaning further increases are expected. flag Drivers face higher refueling costs, with some paying £11 more per tank compared to late February. flag A planned fuel duty rise, reversing a 2022 cut, will add £3,400 to average household fuel costs over 60 years, sparking criticism from campaigners urging the government to delay the increase amid economic strain.
